You don't know what you are talking about. Memory controllers are typically onchip.

"You don't know what you are talking about" is not a great response to someone who's writing more substantive posts than you.

If by on chip you mean on CPU I agree: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Memory_controller

But, that's part of the CPU packaging, a signal needs to get to these pins on the bottom of the CPU and that takes time.
